1: James Slipper 7.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Captaincy duties and a switch back to his favoured loosehead position saw good returns in the scrums and leadership around the field.<\/p>\n

2: Tolu Latu 6.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Promoted from the bench this week and set piece play was very solid.<\/p>\n

3: Taniela Tupou 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some trademark charges in space. Left the field just after halftime due to injury.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

4: Rory Arnold 5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Towering target in the lineout, but not hugely visible elsewhere.<\/p>\n

5: Izack Rodda 5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Penalised for blocking a kick chase, but fought hard in tight exchanges.<\/p>\n

6: Rob Leota 6\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Quiet first half, but became more involved with some good runs.<\/p>\n

7: Pete Samu 5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Big shoes to fill in the No.7 jumper and toiled without much reward.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

8: Rob Valetini 2\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Desperately unlucky end to a consistent campaign, by getting a red card due to a head clash tackle.<\/p>\n

9: Nic White 8\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Exemplary box kick and organisation once again. Also threw in another excellent try save, as well as a having just enough legs to get over for a good try.<\/p>\n

10: James O'Connor 6.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shaky start, but worked his way into the contest.<\/p>\n

\"Daugunu<\/p>\n

11: Filipo Daugunu 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gained confidence throughout, with an excellent finish to score in the 71st minute.<\/p>\n

12: Hunter Paisami 7.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Deft grubber for Andrew Kellaway to score and generally created a lot of problems for the Welsh defence.<\/p>\n

13: Len Ikitau 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Showed great promise on attack and defence. Excellent support play led to White's try.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

14: Andrew Kellaway 7.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Grabbed the first try and was heavily involved early, before coming off with a head knock after 32 minutes.<\/p>\n

15: Kurtley Beale 6.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yellow card for a deliberate knock down was costly, but provided attacking spark and nearly stole the game with a long range penalty goal.<\/p>\n

\"Beale<\/p>\n

RESERVES<\/strong><\/p>\n

16: Folau Fainga'a 6\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Steadying presence in the closing stages.<\/p>\n

17: Angus Bell N\/A<\/strong><\/p>\n

18: Allan Alaalatoa 5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rock solid in brief cameo.<\/p>\n

19: Will Skelton 7.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don't make him mad. Fired up after a Welsh foul play incident and used his hulking frame to huge effect, with a huge turnover penalty in the dying minutes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

20: Lachie Swinton 6\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Added some of his usual punch on defence.<\/p>\n

21: Tate McDermott 6.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Immediately lifted the energy after coming on. Showed good support on try scoring movement.<\/p>\n

22: Lalakai Foketi N\/A<\/strong><\/p>\n

23: Tom Wright 5.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Game didn't go his way until things opened up in the final quarter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
